Top Law Schools

Anyone else out there applying to Louisville? I'm OOS, 3.57 and 159. I have family in the city so it's one of my top choices if I can get some decent money.

I'd be a 3rd generation student there if accept. I'm actually from KY so hopefully that will help to. I'll PM numbers

applied last week. 3.53 158. We'll see how it goes

just checked. File is in review, but they wont start reviewing them until mid december.

so we wont know what the result for a month at least!

Are you certain there will be no decisions before then? That seems somewhat late for those of us who applied in early October.

Your application is complete. We will begin reviewing applications in Mid-December

taken directly from my online application status checker. Would love to hear sooner, but theres nothing we can do

Today the application checker reads:

Your application is currently before the Admissions Committee.
Current Status: Application File Under Review
Current Status Date: 11/29/2010

They have removed the mid-December notice. So it looks like they have started a bit earlier than they had previously posted.
(EDIT: Err, the December notice is now at the bottom, I thought it was at the top LOL)

Good Luck All !

Mine says:

As for the December notice, who knows? While it says they won't review until then, our recent status update directly contradicts it. Let's hope they're just starting ahead of schedule.

mine says application complete and ready for review.
Current Status Date 11/8/2009

at the top it says that they wont start reviewing applications until mid december

haha yeah mine went under review 11/29 also and at the bottom it says that they will begin reviewing mid-december....any ideas as to why?

I imagine its to keep emails to their admissions down to a minimum. They know that "we" check our status daily and are a hair trigger away from calling or emailing

Due to unforeseen circumstances the Admissions Committee has delayed their first meeting until the first week of January. Therefore, we will not begin making decisions on files until the first week of January. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding.

+1....I think it's because they had one or two inches of snow.

Its cold here in KY too!

Anyone have any luck getting a fee waiver after emailing them? Applying a bit late, but just sent one out, hopefully get one back. Always hate getting viewbooks and no fee waivers.

I received a fee waiver in early October after requesting one via e-mail.

Ha. 20-something is not cold. Try living through Wisconsin winters

Recently sent mine in.

So I got a response to my fee waiver request...he apparently hadn't read my whole email/didn't want to give me a fee waiver and just thanked me for my interest and welcomed my application. I emailed him back again inquiring about a waiver assuming he just didn't see the question. He emailed again and told me to "use the below coupon code". There is no code in any email he sent me. Do I send a 3rd email? Seems a little weird. Am I missing something?

I suggest you get on LSAC and see if you have a hidden waiver for UL.

I had a similar experience with the admission office regarding my fee waiver request. It took them 2-3 times to give me the correct fee waiver code.

Interesting, maybe its some sort of an inside joke. If I didn't care about applying, I would respond something like "....Wait...did I just lose the game?"

edit: do you recall emailing a gentleman named Brandon? That's who I've been speaking with.

I'll give them a call tomorrow instead.

@jtb00711 No dice on a hidden waiver.

Accepted via e-mail a couple of hours ago. Strange, because the e-mail I received two days ago said the admissions committee wouldn't be meeting again until early January

Congrats! Maybe they liked you THAT much more than everyone else lol

I hope it isn't a mistake. Anyway, any idea when scholarship information comes out?
